Game Master Me'mori

Hello all.

I desire to run a game. It was pointed out on another thread that those of us that have been in a few games should run some to return the favor. The ratio is not important, though 2:1 or 3:1 was suggested, and I decided to adopt the idea.

Now, that said, what I am looking for is that those that are interested work together with another person that is interested to come up with a good backstory for the two of you. I will only be taking pair submissions, and for the initial accepting I will only be accepting one pair.

For the pair submissions, the setting is pretty malleable. I'm adaptable, and have the time to make at least a post a day, and manage maybe one or two more, depending on the urgency.

There is some game information below, but please, post your interest, and find a partner. If you intend to converse at length, please PM each other. Players of all shades of experience are welcome. If you are paired, please mention it so that others do not spend more time looking than you need. I look forward to seeing what comes, so please, show me your fluff!

...My, that declaration sounds a bit silly, doesn't it?

...I don't understand. Are you wanting to run a two-PC game?

Correct.

Sounds interesting, I'd be willing to pair up with someone and create a background. As a matter of fact I'll work on a background and submit it if anyone likes it or has any ideas to make it better feel free to let me know.

Dotting for interest for me and my friend but I'll have to double check with him first

any idea what kind of character/setting you are looking for?

HI Zoey, I play Goo in the Dawn of the Metahuman game with you, if your friend isn't interested let me know and perhaps we can team up.

I'd be interested in this. Would also be happy to buddy up with anyone who is looking for another person.

Interesting; while I realize you're not too keen on number-crunching, I find myself fascinated by finding builds that work well when paired, as opposed to the usual aim of finding ones that work when deployed singly. And of course the RP challenge of a pair is interesting.

Brendan, pair up?

Off the top of my head- you play as a cavalier/other mounted warrior, I play as your Synthesist quadruped mount. If that's too 'undefeatable' for the GM< of course other options to be found. Story-wise; I've been reading up on the darklands and found them quite interesting. Having two friends be accidentally trapped down there and trying to get out seems fun.

I'm good to pair up with you.

We might move to PMs to confirm builds and backstory.

Friend found a different rp he wants so I'll be withdrawing my dot

@Goo, sorry only looking to join one more rp and he found another he wants. Good luck though

Eh, sure this sounds like it could be fun.
Gaming ranger, want to pair up?

This sounds interesting, given at least one condition I would like to see:
I've been wanting to play a pair of characters involved in a romantic relationship going adventuring together for a long time now. I think their relationship could add a very interesting dimension to a game like this. I would like to play opposite genders and I could play either side, though I would prefer the male side if I get to chose. So, would anyone like to pair up with me given this?

Additionally I'm wondering about the following:
@The Lost Voice: What do you think of Gestalt? With a pair of characters it'll be much easier to fill out the various roles needed in a party with gestalt? I know you haven't really specified anything about the rules for character creation, but would that be an option?

What do you think of Gestalt? With a pair of characters it'll be much easier to fill out the various roles needed in a party with gestalt? I know you haven't really specified anything about the rules for character creation, but would that be an option?

The creation rules will be announced to the pair that gets picked based on the story, but I will say don't count on Gestalt.

Brendan and I have made contact over Skype, quite keen. Story wise, interested in my idea for escaping from the Farmlands?

Movin and I have exchaned PM's and are pairing up.

If this was intended for me, I cannot comment on a particular pitch prior to its presentation, as it may inadvertently indicate a bias.

I rather like this idea. Any ideas for where we would be from? I am fairly familiar with Taldor, Andoran, what little there is on Lastwall, and bit from the Shackles. Taldor and Lastwall have minimal information about them but a wealth of potentially fascinating encounters, be it combat or social.

I do prefer melee to casting for my class, with the exception being an alchemist or a cleric. I have fallen in love with Alchemist, role-play aspects and mechanically.

Where we are from largely depends on the story we want to make. Let's brainstorm through PM (or skype/hangout). I'm also fairly familiar with Andoran as well as several other places scattered over Golarion.

You playing an alchemist sounds like a good idea to me, it's quite a versatile class. With so few people I believe we both need to be able to handle a multitude of roles. I generally prefer to play a character with some casting, though usually not as the sole focus.

@The Lost Voice: what level were you planning to start at? This does matter for a backstory.

And how do you feel about leadership?

Early levels is what I was thinking, depending on the backstory. It's a flaw of mine that I've noticed the higher a party gets, the harder it is for me to conceive of a threat that could rouse the adventurers to something if they aren't following a hook.

Conversely, in the earlier levels, almost everything looks like a threat, and you get to see more of the motivation of the characters before they can solve most things that would threaten a hamlet or village with a wave of a hand, or an afternoon's fight.

In this case, since I'll be working with two people, Leadership is entirely possible, but starting at the level that it can be acquired hand-waves a lot of the character development.

-Of course, that's just my experience, and the circles I've played in.

This sounds very, very intriguing. I've been dying to play something home-brewed in Golarion, and a duo sounds great. Alas, it seems I am the odd man out at the moment. I'd probably want to play a martial class of some sort. Ranger, slayer, swashbuckler, or uc rogue come to mind. Mesmerist and Kineticist are also very interesting. The type of a game I'd be interested in is something based in Kaer Maga (Duskwardens?) or a game that starts in the surface and ventures into the Darklands (basically a better version of Second Darkness).

The real question is who shall join me on this great adventure? Send me a PM if you're interested, I'll be sure to check my in-box often.

Dotting for singleton interest, so anybody who's up to pair with me will be well received!

@Sixteenbiticon: Would you be up for a martial of sorts duo? Something akin to ranger/paladin, fighter/rogue, fighter/ranger, etc you get the drill, ain't ya?

@EmissaryOfTheNorth: PM sent.

I will also say, for any of the aspiring GMs that come across this post, and look through it: "Feel free to approach any of the submissions at any time, for a game of your choosing." Especially if you dig one of the ideas that gets presented and I don't end up choosing it.

Please, please, feel free to approach the players to run with you. I'm all for it.

When is the deadline? Also, I've paired up with Deaths Adorable Apprentice if that wasn't obvious.

Dropping out.

Given that it's the end of the holiday season, I'm not going to start considering submissions until the week of January 11th. So that gives about two weeks for anyone interested to sort things out.

Thanks, Movin and I are making great progress!

Lost Voice, I was wondering if Death's Adorable Apprentice might submit as part of two different pairs.

The reason why is that DAA has played Ronk, the Abbott to Twitchy's Costello, and we were thinking of doing a comedy goblin musical duo as our submission, but we don't want to leave Oyzar out in the cold.

Ronk and I previously played together in We Be Goblins: The Musical. Okay, that wasn't its real name, but that's what it became. We did full out musical numbers. Sometimes the bad guys joined in the chorus. Together... we were EPIC.

We're currently playing in WBG II game that I think very likely to die due to GM apathy. We'd love the chance to continue singing and stabbing our epic goblin story. Maybe we could do the tale of our gobliny honeymoon with you?

So long as I can make two completely different submissions this would be a lot of fun. Backstory So starting somewhere around level 2 and the wedding of Twitchy and Ronk. Followed by a crazy honeymoon full of adventure.

Actually, can we make it level 3, Ronk? Less math if I don't have to level Twitchy down...

We should probably also sum up the backstory for Lost Voice a bit, linking to key songs and musical numbers, and including our joint interest in sartorial display (aka awesome goblin hats.)

Twitchy is very bright for a goblin, she actually thinks things through, which usually ends very badly for her and her plans. Ronk is the world's cutest feral gnasher barbarian. He doesn't think. He just runs in and wrecks all of Twitchy's carefully laid plans. Together we sing a lot of parodied Disney.

Our background is the module We Be Goblins module, except with lots of added musical numbers. We got the treasure, killed the evil witch, fell in love and got married.

We're ridiculous and awesome rolled up in one very odd musical package.

Scratching head, Whats math?

Exactly! Level three then, my love?

Lost Voice, I was wondering if Death's Adorable Apprentice might submit as part of two different pairs.

I would prefer that each person have only one submission, though if I'm following the thread correctly, Brendan is looking for a partner, since Arkwright withdrew. Try contacting them before that. I'm not specifically against it, but I'd rather not leave someone out if it can be helped.

So we need to PM Oyzar and Brendan and see if they're willing to pair up?

EDITED to ADD: I'm willing to drop if Brendan and Oyzar cannot make a go of it. I don't want to leave Oyzar out in the cold, especially since he and DAA have put a few days into their submission already.

I did have some specific requirements that are not for everyone though, not sure if Brendan would be thrilled about that. I really like what I got so far with Death's Adorable Apprentice, but I understand it if she wants to go continue her story with Twitchy Boom Boom instead. It would mean a lot less work for her as we still have some work to do in developing our story.

I PMed Brendan. Let's see what he says. If you and he cannot make it work, I will drop out in favor of your prior claim. Does that sound good? I want you to have an excellent teammate, and DAA is one of the best.

Hmm

Shameless flattery will get you everywhere! And if Brendan and Oyzar are both willing I am happy to work with Twithcy but I will honor my first claim

Ah! HERE is the link that I referred to in my opening post about a playing:running ratio.

Thanks flykiller!

Huh. No word from Brendan and we're past New Year's. It sounds like I'll have drop out so that Oyzar and DAA can complete their submission. Good luck guys!

So long as Oyzar is still willing. This cold is kicking my butt so I have been a little slow going with any thing requiring thought process. Maybe another game will come around where Twitchy and Ronk can continue their journey.

Actually we haven't gotten very far on our submission yet. I assume it's because DDA has been sick. It might be easier for her if you two submit together.

I just wanted to post in here and let you all know that I'm still keeping an eye on this, and will be away for the beginning of the next week.

Well, the deadline is January 11th. So there's still time.

Anyone wanting to discuss a concept? I always have a mountain of ideas in my head, and this seems like a great way to put them to use. Getting the opportunity to create two characters with an intrinsically woven backstory isn't the most common of occurrences.

I realize you are possibly unavailable to comment at the moment, but I was wondering what format you would like our final submissions to be in. Would you prefer one single outline submitted per pair or would you prefer to read each character's background individually and see how well they mesh together? Or something else?

@SunstonePhoenix: I want to play and discuss concepts if you want to play with me, given what I posted above.

@Oyzar - Nice to run into you, I submitted Issi Flamehair alongside Evan Rivers in GM Guiseppe's Kingmaker game. I'd be happy to talk about an idea - we could even use Issi and Evan ;)

Equally I'm open to trying something with someone else if there's anyone who'd like to join me!

Nice to see you again. I would very much like to play with you, though for the roleplay I describe I would at least prefer it if the characters were the same size. We can discuss further over PM (or Skype, Hangout etc).
